“The media shows the tiniest percentage of what people do”

“The media shows the tiniest percentage of what people do. There are millions and millions of people doing wonderful things all over the world, and they're generally not the ones being touted in the news.” (Fred Rogers)
Sometimes, the best antidote to the prevalent Fear Matrix™ is to turn off your TVs and stop scrolling your phones.
Take a good look around at all the magic and miracles — you know, the stuff that hasn’t been programmed into your awareness by an algorithm.
Two examples for starters:

While you’re at it, make a snappy today:
that is why I took a subscription to the epoch times. They have a good news section. A man who rescues a dog from freezing water, a young woman who decides to keep the baby resulting from a rape, couple saving the generations old farm, animals cuddling up together etc. At night I like to watch natural docs, all these animals living mostly peacefully together, the lions walking among their pray animals if not hungry, while we people, all one species. act like angry hyenas
Another great post. You reminded me of a Mr. Rodgers story.
"Over 30 years ago, Beth was at school during her first week of kindergarten when her mother, Kathy, received a call from the principal. Beth had a seizure. Kathy rushed her daughter to the hospital. After ample testing, doctors couldn’t find the problem and sent Beth home."
"Beth's condition caused her to have 100 seizures a day. Miraculously, the only time she wouldn't seize was while watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood."
"It was Rasmussen’s encephalitis, a rare inflammatory neurological disease that only affects one hemisphere of the brain. While there’s still no known cure, Doctor Ben Carson performed successful surgeries on a few patients in the late 80s. In the surgery, doctors would remove half of the patient’s brain that was affected by the disease."
Her parents decided to do the surgery. Her mom call ed the Mr. Rodgers show to get a picture.
"Less than an hour later, the secretary called back with a special message."
“‘Will you be home this evening at 7? Fred would like to call and speak with Beth,’” the secretary told Kathy. “He called, and I said to Beth, ‘Beth… there’s a friend on the phone for you.’”
They talked for over an hour. She also spoke with all the puppets.
"Daniel Striped Tiger ended the conversation, telling Beth that he loved her, and everything was going to be okay."
Beth did have the surgery. It was successful but she went into a coma that lasted for weeks, then months, with Rodgers calling every day. Mr. Rodgers decided to go see Beth.
"Rogers' only request was that the visit be between him and Beth. No press.
So, he flew from Pittsburgh to Baltimore. A friend picked him up from the airport and drove him to John Hopkins Hospital where he sat beside Beth in her comatose state.
Beth’s family and nurses stood in the doorway watching as Rogers removed his puppets from his case."
“He gave Beth her own private show,” said Kathy.
"He also left all his puppets for Beth so she wouldn’t be alone when she awoke.
Shortly after Mr. Rogers visit, Beth did wake, surrounded by friends.
When Mr. Rogers called that day, Kathy told him the good news."
“He said, ‘Praise God.’”
"Mr. Rogers and Beth’s friendship continued through the years. They were pen pals, and Mr. Rogers always called Beth on her birthday. When Beth’s grandparents passed away, Mr. Rogers listened to her mourn over the phone. Mr. Rogers even asked Beth to help write his commencement address for the University of Connecticut."
